- Original developer purchase price
- Current asking price
- Seller-paid amount
- Outstanding developer balance
- Remaining payment schedule
- Premium included in the asking price
- Floor level
- View orientation

Ask RAKcompare for the latest limited 2-bedroom developer availability and current Playa Del Sol resale options before selecting a residence.
Freehold Off-Plan Property for Sale
Playa Del Sol offers freehold ownership for eligible UAE and international buyers purchasing property on Al Marjan Island.
As an off-plan development scheduled for completion in Q4 2027, Playa Del Sol originally provided buyers with access to a construction-linked 60/40 payment plan.
New buyers can now consider two routes:
- Limited remaining 2-bedroom apartments directly from the developer
- Resale properties offered by existing owners
Resale is permitted after 30% of the purchase price has been paid, subject to Ellington’s approval, NOC requirements and the conditions stated in the sale and purchase agreement.
Buyers purchasing through resale may take over the seller’s remaining payment schedule. The exact structure depends on the selected residence and the amount already paid to the developer.
Residences and Original Unit Mix
Playa Del Sol includes studios and 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments across its 14-storey residential tower. The development also includes one 5-bedroom signature villa and two 4-bedroom penthouses.
The residences follow Ellington Properties’ coastal design approach, using natural finishes, warm tones, floor-to-ceiling glazing, open-plan living areas and terraces designed to maximise natural light.
The original residential collection includes:
- Studio apartments
- 1-bedroom apartments
- 2-bedroom apartments
- 3-bedroom apartments
- Two 4-bedroom penthouses
- One 5-bedroom signature villa
Only a limited number of 2-bedroom apartments currently remain available directly from the developer. Other property types should primarily be searched for within the Playa Del Sol resale market.
The residences are not delivered furnished, allowing owners to choose their own furniture and interior styling before personal use or leasing.
Playa Del Sol 2-Bedroom Apartments
A limited number of 2-bedroom Playa Del Sol apartments remain available directly from Ellington Properties, subject to live inventory and final confirmation.
These apartments may appeal to:
- Couples requiring additional space
- Small families
- International second-home buyers
- Investors looking for a larger beachfront rental property
- Buyers who prefer purchasing directly from the developer
- Buyers seeking a defined 60/40 payment structure
Available layouts, prices, floor levels and views should be checked against the current developer inventory before reserving.
Two-bedroom resale opportunities may also be available. Buyers should compare the remaining developer units against resale properties because the best option may depend on price, floor, view, payment position and seller premium.
Playa Del Sol 1-Bedroom Apartments for Resale
One-bedroom Playa Del Sol apartments are now primarily available through the resale and secondary market.
A 1-bedroom Playa Del Sol RAK apartment may appeal to buyers looking for a compact freehold property within an Ellington beachfront development.
One-bedroom resale opportunities may suit:
- Individual buyers and couples
- International second-home owners
- Investors seeking a smaller beachfront apartment
- Buyers considering short-term rental use
- Buyers comparing entry prices across Al Marjan Island
Resale asking prices, seller-paid amounts, remaining instalments, floor levels and views vary by residence.
Buyers should review the full resale position before comparing individual properties, including the seller’s original purchase price, amount already paid, outstanding balance and any premium included in the asking price.
Studios, 3-Bedroom Apartments and Larger Residences
Studios, 3-bedroom apartments, penthouses and the 5-bedroom signature villa are now primarily available through resale, subject to individual owners listing their properties.
Availability may be limited because some categories originally contained only a small number of residences.
Buyers interested in these property types should request current resale options rather than relying on the original project unit mix. The original inclusion of a property type does not mean that a resale unit is currently available.

Playa Del Sol is built around a four-level, multi-tier infinity pool designed to provide Arabian Gulf views. The waterfront offering also includes a resident-exclusive jetty with yacht service.

Planned amenities include:
- Four-level multi-tier infinity pool

- Fitness studio
- Cardio area

Location on Al Marjan Island
Playa Del Sol is located on Island 2 of Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah. The project is positioned approximately four minutes on foot from the beach and forms part of a growing coastal district of residential developments, resorts and lifestyle destinations.
Its location is relevant for buyers comparing beachfront apartments for sale on Al Marjan Island and freehold property near Wynn Al Marjan Island.
Indicative connectivity includes:
- Beach: Approximately four minutes on foot
- Al Hamra Village: Approximately 10 minutes
- Ras Al Khaimah International Airport: Approximately 15 minutes

Payment Plan, Resale and Completion
Playa Del Sol was launched with a 60/40 payment plan and is currently scheduled for completion in Q4 2027.
The exact payment position for a new buyer depends on whether the property is purchased directly from the developer or through resale.
Key commercial points include:
- Payment plan: 60/40
- Post-handover payment plan: No
- Launch: Q1 2025
- Scheduled completion: Q4 2027
- Resale eligibility: After 30% payment

Buyers purchasing one of the remaining developer units should confirm the current construction-linked instalment schedule.
Buyers purchasing through resale should confirm the seller-paid amount, outstanding balance and remaining payment dates. Resale remains subject to Ellington’s approval, administrative charges, NOC requirements and the sale and purchase agreement.
Short-Term Rental Potential
Short-term rentals are permitted at Playa Del Sol, subject to applicable Ras Al Khaimah regulations, licensing requirements and final community rules.
The project’s location, beachfront positioning, resort-style amenities and proximity to Wynn Al Marjan Island may support holiday-home demand. However, rental performance is not guaranteed.
Owners considering short-term rental use should account for:
- Furnishing and fit-out costs
- Holiday-home licensing
- Property-management charges
- Cleaning and guest-service expenses
- Service charges
- Seasonal occupancy
- Competing rental supply
- Community operating rules
Is Playa Del Sol a Good Investment?
Playa Del Sol may appeal to buyers looking for freehold, off-plan property with Ellington’s design approach, a beachfront location and access to resort-style amenities.
Its investment characteristics include:
- Island 2 location on Al Marjan Island
- Developed by Ellington Properties
- Freehold ownership
- Limited remaining developer availability
- Active resale opportunities
- 60/40 payment structure
- Resale eligibility after 30% payment
- Short-term rental potential
- Scheduled Q4 2027 completion
- Proximity to Wynn Al Marjan Island
- Resident jetty and yacht-service concept
- Extensive lifestyle and wellness amenities
Investment performance is not guaranteed. Rental income and resale value will depend on the purchase price, residence type, floor level, view, operating costs, furnishing, market supply and rental strategy.
Who Should Consider Playa Del Sol?
Playa Del Sol may suit:
- Buyers searching for beachfront apartments on Al Marjan Island
- International buyers seeking freehold property in Ras Al Khaimah
- Investors looking for off-plan property near Wynn Al Marjan Island
- Buyers seeking one of the remaining developer 2-bedroom apartments
- Buyers looking for a 1-bedroom Playa Del Sol resale property
- End-users who value Ellington’s residential design style
- Families seeking larger resale residences
- Investors considering short-term rental use
- Buyers comparing Playa Del Sol with Costa Mare
Why Playa Del Sol Stands Out
Playa Del Sol combines Ellington Properties’ design-led approach with an Island 2 beachfront location and a varied residential collection.
The development’s principal points of difference include its multi-tier infinity pool, resident-exclusive jetty, yacht-service concept, sunken garden and dedicated wellness floor.
Unlike a hotel-branded residence, Playa Del Sol is positioned as a design-led residential project. This may appeal to buyers who prefer a residential community without hotel-brand positioning or hotel operating restrictions.
The development is also relatively advanced in its scheduled timeline, with completion targeted for Q4 2027. Buyers should still review construction updates, current inventory and contractual completion provisions before purchasing.
What Buyers Should Compare Before Reserving
Before purchasing a Playa Del Sol residence, buyers should compare:
- Developer availability versus resale availability
- Original purchase price
- Current asking price
- Seller-paid amount
- Outstanding developer balance
- Price per square foot
- Unit layout and usable space
- Balcony size
- Floor level
- View orientation
- Distance from amenities
- Beach access
- Remaining payment schedule
- Estimated service charges
- Resale restrictions
- Short-term rental suitability
- Scheduled completion
- Furnishing and fit-out costs
- Competing properties at a similar price
A lower headline price does not always represent better value. Layout efficiency, view, floor level, payment timing and future operating costs can materially affect the overall purchase decision.
